Brigadier-General Rufus King, August 1, 1863

CENTREVILLE, August 1, 1863.
(Received 9.40 a.m.)

SIR: Colonel Lowell goes to Washington to-day, to report, as ordered. He returned from his expedition last night, bringing in about 20 horses captured from Mosby, and all the prisoners taken by Mosby at Fairfax. The gang scattered in all directions, and thus eluded pursuit.

RUFUS KING,
Brigadier-General, Commanding.
Col. J. H. TAYLOR,
Chief of Staff.
